What our members say...

We expect our people to lead networks at the side of their day job. That brings a fabulous lifeforce because people bring their passion. And sometimes you have to pull the drains up - PurpleSpace helped us to ask the difficult questions to get better results from our networks.

We had taken part in a national benchmark exercise but were overwhelmed by the actions recommended. So, we ran some lived-experience focus groups and bingo - we got more useful information in those sessions than we ever had before.

We needed to bring people together to ask some big questions. Did our strategy have focus? Were we executing it adequately? Were we rewarding our volunteers correctly? Did our executive sponsor have our backs? Ultimately, how would we know we were doing well as a network?
